Question pretext

Question post text

IF ANSWER IS NOT NUMBERIC, PROBE FOR APPROXIMATE NUMBER OF DAYS

Interviewer instructions

These questions are only asked if the child is still being breastfed. Find out in Q.462 how many times the woman put her child to the breast last night, i.e. between sunset and sunrise. If she feeds the child on demand or she cannot remember how many times she breastfed last night, ask her to estimate.

In Q. 463 we want to find out how many times she put her child to the breast yesterday, that is, during the daytime from sunrise to sunset. Again, if she is not certain, ask her to estimate. Put a '0' in the first box if she breastfed the child less than ten times.
